Internship / Thesis / Working student (m/f/d) – Conceptual design and completion of a rack for automated electrical control of electromagnetic valves

RAPA Automotive | Location: Selb, Germany | Full-time/Part-time

In many RAPA validation tests, electromagnetic switching valves themselves are used as test specimens and in the control of other products. These valves are controlled via a low-voltage power supply. In addition to manually controlled power supply units, it is also possible to implement digital control via a CAN interface (PropCAN). This allows these valves or test specimens to be integrated into a smart test environment, bringing many advantages such as digitalization or automation. These PropCANs are to be used in various areas within the central laboratory. A modular PropCAN rack is to be designed and constructed for standardization and better handling.

Your tasks

Conceptual design of a PropCAN rack and the associated procurement of the required materials
Construction of the conceptualized ProPCAN rack and application in an application area
Programming a user interface for versatile use in the RAPA laboratory

Degree in mechatronics, electrical engineering, control engineering, physics or a comparable course of study
